Oh, hi.

I totally need to catch up this blog with our lives.

'Cuz I've been kinda consumed.

Or foggy.

Or I just gave birth.

And I have a total of 5 kids now.

And 5 kids is a lot, ya'll.

Oh, and Steve had shoulder surgery, so it was kinda like I had 6 kids.

But, he wasn't acting like a baby...just needed to be babied.

So, I've been reeeeallly busy.

Mmm. No I haven't.

Just reeeeeally exhausted.

'Cuz then I got mastitis. Which was the worst. THE WORST.

And, after my fever broke after four days, I was like, I need to blog.

But, frankly, I don't have many moments when my hands aren't full of Lucy.

And, it's hard to type with one hand. Well, no hands, cuz nursing, for me, takes two.

And, when she naps I have to choose wisely what I will do with my time.

And, the big-ticket-items on the list have been the necessities:

Laundry, dishes, or sleeping.

And, if my big kids are lucky, I pay attention to them, like we read or dance or something.

And, oh! Laundry. That's funny. 'Cuz last load that was done ended up with melted crayons all over...so then I was like, We don't need clean clothes, do we?

'Cuz we pretty much hang out in our PeeJays all the live long day anyway.

And not much is getting done.

Unless you call squeezing and kissing on a little chubby baby getting something done.

And, around here, well, we do.

And, even now, as I type this, I'm like, Why am I sitting at this computer?! I have so much I could get done?!

She'sgoingtowakeupanyminute!!!!

Hup! There she is. I'm out.

Oh my! Lisa....this sounds much like me right now too. Except we didn't have crayons in our laundry, nor shoulder surgery....but the rest is pretty much like me. OH, except mastitis! Oh how awful...I hope you are feeling better.
5 kids. that is alot.
I only have 4. and that is alot.
Its hard to keep your head above water at times. kissing and lovin' on little baby is totally what I spend my time doing and then SLEEPING when I get a free moment of baby sleeping and the rest of the house is all quiet. Wheww, I am so behind on my blog. So I feel for you and understand what you are in the midst of at this moment of time!

great to hear from, although sorry to hear about all the extra happenings in your life! I would get mastitis with each child - sometimes multiple times. It is SO painful....4 days down sounds like you had a bad case! I hope it stays away for the rest of Lucy's nursing career.

And, although you are swamped with so much work as amazing mom to 5....thanks for posting. I love to hear about other families and how they are handling things. Although it would be lovely to hear from you more, it's the best that you are spending time in these fleeting moments of your children's growing up. And being a great mom to Steven (shoulder surgery?!).

Loves to you - glad to know you are loving the moments....and whenever you get to post again, we will definitely look forward to hearing more from the Owen Family.

xoxoxo

Oh I can SO relate! I'm just a few weeks ahead of you, but it is starting to get better... some days. I keep reminding myself that they will all grow up and I will miss this stage, so I try to write it all down and take lots of pictures so I won't forget.

Loved this post! Hugs!
